Shared Beliefs in a Society is a much-needed contribution to societal psychology, a new emerging subfield of social psychology, which studies societies from a social psychological perspective. Daniel Bar-Tal presents his work of the last 15 years on shared beliefs in societies under one conceptual framework from which to identify beliefs held in common by entire societies and nations. Using examples form the history, politics, sociology, culture, and education from different societies, the author offers that social psychology can provide a unique perspective on society, but it can also benefit from integrating contributions from other social sciences into its own theorizing effort.

The first thing we tend to ask about people's beliefs is: are they true? We want to believe in 'the truth'. This book deals with a much more dynamic and easily addressable issue: how do our beliefs effect the world, regardless of their veracity? Our beliefs are based upon influences, the strongest of which appear to be based upon shared membership in a group, whether that be a cultural subset, a national identity, a religious identity, or a complex identity such as a participant in a scholarly discipline, or holding the identity of 'a physicist'. Movements, such as political and revolutionary identities, as well as splinter groups like self help movements, or even cults, can also serve as the nexus for an array of beliefs. Via case studies, this slim volume addresses a variety of group beliefs, who they benefit, who they disadvantage, and where they came from. Ultimately, our beliefs tell us what our needs are. This book draws upon scholarly sources, but constitutes a narrative-based inquiry open to any reader with an interest in group dynamics, and the overlap between faith and reason. This book is a above all a philosophical exploration that draws upon a variety of cross disciplinary sources to cast light upon the nature of contemporary and historical shared beliefs.

Past research shows that political and ideological disagreements with affiliatively-relevant others tend to be experienced as aversive and potentially damaging to the relationships in which the disagreement arises. While social psychology offers many proximate explanations for this tendency, the more ultimate evolutionary explanations of this automatic, pervasive, and "hot cognition" phenomenon have been under-explored. The current research argues that because high levels of belief consensus within groups increase trust, cooperation, and prosociality among group members, and because these group-level features were adaptively advantageous especially in the context of intergroup competition, then people should be motivated to defend shared beliefs with other ingroup members -- and thus find disagreements aversive -- when faced with fitness-relevant threats to the group that require high levels of ingroup cohesion. Two experiments tested this prediction by manipulating participants exposure to evolutionarily relevant and non-relevant intergroup threats and then measuring participants' aversion to ideologically-inconsistent beliefs (Exp. 1 & 2), their desire to share beliefs with other ingroup members (Exp. 1), and their attitudes toward ingroup members who challenged shared beliefs (Exp. 2). Results from Experiment 1 showed that in a national intergroup context (American ingroup vs. Chinese outgroup), participants demonstrated greater aversion to ideologically opposing beliefs and greater desire to share beliefs with other ingroup Americans when faced with the evolutionarily-relevant threat of highly-cohesive male outgroup. Results from Experiment 2 showed that in a political intergroup context (Republicans vs. Democrats), somewhat contrary to predictions, participants showed greater aversion to ideologically-inconsistent beliefs and less favorable attitudes toward ingroup members who challenge shared beliefs when primed with highly-creative (vs. high power) male outgroups. Implications for potential ways to reduce political polarization are discussed.

"Individuals who live in groups hold common beliefs which define their reality, not only as persons, but also as group members. This reality becomes especially important when group members become aware that they share beliefs and are convinced that these beliefs characterize them as a group. In this case common beliefs become group beliefs." With this statement, Dr. Bar-Tal begins his far-reaching analysis of beliefs as a group phenomenon. Group beliefs are shown to have important behavioral, cognitive, and affective implications for group members and the group as a whole. They may contribute to the behavioral direction a group takes, coordinate group activities, determine the intensity and involvement of group members, and influence the way group members affect the leaders. This book introduces and articulates the implications of a new concept of group beliefs, shedding new light on the structure and processes of groups, focusing on such phenomena as group formation, subgrouping, splits, mergence and group disintegration. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, this integrative conception opens new avenues to the study and understanding of group behavior.

Social scientists have long argued about what culture is, and how to measure it. They most often use surveys to capture how culture gets internalized into human cognition, and what is widely shared within a society. Not everybody in society shares the same belief structures, however, and we need better measurement to accurately examine beliefs, which function as both shared ways of thinking and individual psychological beliefs. In this dissertation, I test recent statistical techniques that reflect modern theories of how to quantitatively identify shared belief systems (or logics). These methods do more than just average individual-level beliefs. I propose an analytic strategy, based on cultural cognitive sociology, which uncovers several previously hidden belief patterns, without presupposing differences by gender, race, and so on. By analyzing both explicit and implicit belief responses from surveys and psychological experiments, findings show heterogeneous cultural logics in each U.S. and South Korea and define the similarities and differences in the logics between South Koreans and Americans. This dissertation further underscores how cognitive patterns of beliefs are associated with educational, political, and religious outcomes, varying across stratification in the two societies.
